Webstart: What os and arch does my system return?

Question

The JNLP specification allows for tag elements to be specified per the system's OS and architecutre.

How do I find out what Java Webstart thinks is my computer's OS and architecture? Is there a way to programmatically view or extract this value somehow? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can use System.getProperty("os.name")

for the OS and

System.getProperty("os.arch")

for the architecture, although this will need to be in the web start app itself.
